    Would you?

    Never been a huge fan of the full mask sporran myself but I do like the look of some of them, if they are well crafted.

    While noseing around on ebay however, I came across this. Apologies if it belongs to one of our members but it looks to me like someone happened across some roadkill and nailed it to the front of a day sporran. What's with the legs?

    Judge for yourself:

    The seller has ruined a perfectly fine vintage day sporran by affixing a ladies stole to it. Rubbish. Give it a wide berth.

    If I had the needed funds presently I would. Then I would wrap it in buckskin with Sage, Tobacco and lay it under an Oak. It needs more respect than this.

    Agreed. A proper burial and a wee dram out of respect...then off to order something nice from one of our talented sporran makers here.

    The vendor should not be allowed to profit from this even if there is altruism in wishing to buy it.
